Summary

"Gardening is an art form," write George and Karen Grant, "in which man is allowed to learn at the knee of God's very creation. From the beginning, mankind has been at home in a garden." With their flowers and herbs, trees and vines, vegetables and fruits, gardens have always provided quiet and rest from the wearying labor of life.
